Former Montgomery County Courthouse - Danville MO - Courthouses on Waymarking.com

The Montgomery County Missouri Courthouse was located in Danville before the county seat was relocated to Montgomery City in 1925.

"On April 12, 1901the courthouse was burned by an arson. (See picture of this in my picture gallery) All county records except the consolidated real estate tax book were lost in the fire. For the second time in less than 40 years, the county records were burned at Danville. The county officer, still at Danville, had temporary offices set up in each of their homes at Danville until new offices could be built or Montgomery City won the county seat prize.

A small courthouse was built on this site soon afterward which housed the deputy county clerk and treasurer, which were required by law to remain in the countyseat. The last courthouse of Danville still stands on this site today." (visit link)
